*sigh* I am really bad at this stuff.. Could someone please tell me how I setup U7 with dosbox i have the game dled and dos installed.. please someone help. 😕

Assuming you are using Windows & have DOSBox installed/working:

1. In Windows, create a folder to put your U7 install files.
Like: C:\u7ins

2. Edit the dosbox.cfg file, using notepad, save it when done.

Change or confirm the following settings:
cycles=16000
rate=44100
blocksize=2048
prebuffer=100
mpu401=intelligent
device=default
sbtype=sb16
sbbase=220
irq=5
dma=1
hdma=5
oplmode=opl3
oplrate=44100
xms=true
ems=false
umb=false

3. run dosbox

4. with dosbox running, type the following commands:
(ignore the warning, or cower in fear if you really want)

mount C C:\

C:

cd u7ins

install

5. follow the Ultima7 install process, keep in mind the settings for the emulated SB16 you provided to DOSBox in the configuration file.

6. after installing Ultima7, don't run it yet, there is a little more to do. Exit DOSBox by typing exit.

7. assuming the install went well and you have Ultima7 installed to a directory,
we will assume: C:\Ultima7

8. edit the dosbox.cfg file, again, add these lines under the section titled [autoexec]

mount C C:\Ultima7
C:
ultima7

That should get you started. You will likely have to tweak settings. The cycles are set to emulate a 16 Mhz PC approximately.

Post if you have questions,
